How we handle sink repair in Queen's Hills

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and fine cracks across the glaze, we can generally put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Questions from Queen's Hills

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Should you replace it?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Queen's Hills, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Queen's Hills use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When to call us in Queen's Hills

Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A chipped vanity basin

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
